Hawthorn House was the perfect choice for our short family break to see the Illuminations. We found the place easily enough, and we were lucky enough to secure the last roadside parking spot just outside the guest house (though I had researched nearby car parks just in case). Wayne, who runs the guest house with Lisa, was there to greet us on arrival, and made us feel at home straight away. Our family room consisted of one double bed, one single bed, and an en-suite shower room. The room was very spacious, immaculately clean, warm and comfortable, tastefully decorated, and there were several little touches which showed just how much Wayne and Lisa care about guest experience, such as a fridge in the room with complimentary bottled water, fresh milk provided for teas and coffees, and - for our late-October stay - even the spare toilet rolls had been wrapped in Halloween-themed paper. The guest house also features a cosy residents' bar with a pool table, where we enjoyed a drink and a chat with Wayne and other guests on each evening of our stay. The bar was decorated for Halloween, and accompanied children are very welcome in there as well as the grown-ups, with sweets, activities and children's cocktails on offer as well as a good range of alcoholic drinks for the grown-ups. The accommodation is room-only, so you'll have to make your own plans for breakfast, but there are two cafes within a stone's throw of Hawthorn House - including one directly opposite - and you're only a short walk from town and Central Pier. Wayne is a good source of knowledge of the local eateries, and only too happy to offer recommendations. We absolutely loved our family break at Hawthorn House. We found a gem of a place which offers excellent value for money. We're already looking for an excuse to book in again!
